When Kjaer Weis created their latest skincare product, The Cleanser and The Toner, they went beyond the packaging to make sure it was low-waste. Both formulas were developed to be used without disposable wipes or single-use cotton balls!
This first nugget is probably the most controversial. Your oil journey starts sooner than you expect, the moment you finish cleansing your skin. “When your skin is still damp, that’s when you apply your oil. And follow it with some cream. It mixes really nicely with the drops of water still on my skin and seals in the moisture.
Applying oil first is especially important when it comes to oils with active ingredients, like retinol. These oils need easier, unobstructed access to your skin and shouldn’t be layered on top of other products. As for other oils, you can apply those after moisturizer if you must but it makes it all a lot messier.
Unless you’re working with a super active (and super expensive) blend, massage oil into your skin in swift, upward movements. You get that more relaxing benefit and this way improves the circulation.
So when should you absolutely pat. After application. Because oils are, well, oily. Take a towel to lightly soak up any excess that’s sitting on your skin. Just because it’s an oil doesn’t mean you need to be greasy.
So the basics. A lotion or moisturizer is, more or less, a combination of fat—oils, butters, their synthetic substitutes—and water. You know what this means. Make your own moisturizer, folks. And use your skin as the mixing bowl. Apply when your skin is still damp to help the oil emulsify with the water. And that’s it!
You don’t need to oil up every day. In fact you shouldn’t. The skin reacts better if you balance. Use exfoliation, serums, modern skincare systems, in combination with your oils, but avoid using [oils] every day because they won’t balance out your skin. Create your own little apothecary and bring things in and out of rotation.

We are beyond thrilled to announce the arrival of the Kjaer Weis X Caroline Issa lipstick collaboration. Caroline Issa is a fashion icon known for her flawless style and signature red lip; and a long time fan of Kirsten Kjaer Weis clean and sustainable approach to make up.
When founder Kirsten pitched a collaboration for a collection of classic red lipsticks (which would also support the Women for Women International charity) she didn't hesitate.
The collaboration consists of two classic red lipsticks.
Amour Rouge which is velvet matte orange red and Sucré a deep dark blood red with dark undertones.
The 'Amour Rouge' lipstick is inspired by the fashion icon's memories of picking saga seeds during childhood summers in Singapore. It's blended with nourishing and hydrating Jojoba and Sweet Almond oils, along with Beeswax to lock in moisture.
“I love pairing a warm red lip with the subtle shine of a gold shadow.” A perfect look for daytime Kjaer Weis matched this warm look with the Cream Eye Shadow in Alluring, and a cream blush in Blossoming.
“Black liner and red lips never, ever go out of style.”
Amour Rouge also works at night when you want a more classic glam look.
Sucre' is a blue-based dark-red inspired by the color of maple leaves during Montreal's fall. It's infused with softening Beeswax and a blend of moisturizing oil
